NVIDIA AI Podcast

What if one AI brain could run every robot on the planet—a humanoid, a warehouse arm, and a dog-like inspection bot—all at once?

That's not a thought experiment. That's what Skild AI is building right now.

Deepak Pathak (CEO and Co-Founder) and Abhinav Gupta (President and Co-Founder) of Skild AI join the pod to break down Skild Brain—a universal, general-purpose AI model designed to power robots of any form factor, tackling any task, from a single shared intelligence.

What happens when you combine AI with quantum computing? NVIDIA's Nic Harrigan joins the AI Podcast to break down the state of quantum, explain why error correction is the pivotal challenge, and reveal how NVIDIA Ising—the world's first open AI model family for quantum—is changing the game.

AI is reshaping electricity demand. What does increased demand, and the shape of that demand, mean for the electric grid? Ben Sooter, Director of R&D at EPRI joins the podcast to explain why most of an AI model’s lifetime energy use comes from inference rather than training, and how micro data centers located near underutilized substations can help deliver low‑latency AI services while strengthening grid resilience.

Alibaba.com president Kuo Zhang discusses how AI agents like Accio are reshaping global trade. He shares insights on automating complex B2B sourcing, compressing weeks of work into minutes, lowering barriers for solo entrepreneurs and SMEs, and what AI-native commerce will mean for the next decade.
